I see.
Is it much more difficult to keep good GPA at UCLA? People say they have grade deflation whi ...
I must say it is generally easier in exams of community college than at a 4-year university. But as long as you understand the course materials and is able to demonstrate you understand them (e.g. through writing), there is a very high chance HK students getting A or B in a 4-year university. It is very hard to get C --- given that any HK students going through 10= years of local crazy exam system in HK would be well trained to handle any exams in any country.
If i remembered right, I got 3.8 GPA when graduating from CC, and about 3.5 or 3.6 from UCLA. There is not a "curve" at each course. Both CC and university work this way: at the start of a course, the instructors generally talk about how the final grade is determined e.g. 10% attendance, 50% exams, 40% homework. You will also know how many % is equivalent to A, A-, B+ etc. As long as you meet the requirement for A, you will just get A regardless how many people in the class get A.
The only curve I know of is the GPA for getting honors for your degree. It is listed in the transcript e.g. Magna cum laude: 3.84, Summa cum laude: 3.74, Cum laude: 3.64. And i think the GPA will shift each year.
The goal of a HK student studying abroad is very clear: come home with a degree; don't come home empty handed. Therefore, grade A or B or C doesn't matter too much. Of course, it makes your CV prettier if you got a higher GPA (but doesn't mean you get higher chance of employment neither).
